New York PSC Releases Broadband Report and Map

The New York State Public Service Commission has released its third broadband report and interactive broadband map to chart highspeed broadband availability in the state, said a NYPSC news release Thursday. “This data continues to be a central resource for the efficient deployment of State and federal funding, enhancing New York’s ability to target both State and federal funding to the areas in greatest need,” said Commission Chair Rory Christian in the release. The report shows that 97.4% of New York address locations are served by high-speed broadband and that the number of served address locations increased by 23,370 over last year. The report also shows increased competition among broadband providers, the release said. “Since last year, more than 500,000 addresses across New York gained access to more than one high-speed internet service provider,” the release said.
